Congratualtions on your good parenting. Your child or children apparently have never made or ever would make mistakes (that you know of).

I'm sure that most parents here could make the same claim. But I would be the first among them to ever make the flat out claim that MY children would ever stray from their father's and my teachings.

[Coldwater Creek]

Let me make this perfectly clear! I never stated that my children were perfect. Nor have I ever said that they did not make some mistakes. I am not saying that We were perfect parents (we were not). Since you do not get my point, I will just move on.

[Jane Austen]

Good that you have children that you can claim would never stray from your teachings.

But to say that someone's children would never make mistakes is ludicrous. Everyone makes mistakes. Crimes, however, are not mistakes. They are conscious acts. This includes rapes and false accusations of rape. Neither is a mistake. Both are wrong.
